Crucial facts about TB
October 7, 1994
By Jean Lewis
Health Center Special
The Health Center and
Student Life staff are concerned that students receive
important facts and information about the disease called
Tuberculosis (TB). The
American Lung Association
and the Riverside County Department of Public Health
have provided the following
information.
TB is an infectious (contagious) disease that usually
attacks the lungs. TB is
spread from person to person through the air. When a
person with TB in his lungs
or throat coughs, laughs,
sneezes, sings, or even talks,
the germ that causes TB may
be spread into the air. If another person breathes in these
germs through direct air contact, there is a chance that
they will become infected
with tuberculosis.
It is not easy to become
infected with TB. Usually a
person has to be close to
someone with TB for a long
period of time. TB is usually spread between family
members, close friends, and
people who work or live together. TB is spread most
easily in closed spaces over
a long period of time.
Even if someone is exposed or becomes infected
with TB this does not mean
he/she will get the disease.
Most people who become infected do not develop the disease because the body's defenses protect him/her.
There are two phases to
TB. The first phase is called
infection, which means the
germs have entered the body
but are controlled by the
body's defense system. Most
people who are infected
never become sick and cannot spread the disease. But
some people progress to the
second phase, which is called
the disease. TB most often
damages the lungs. The
symptoms are coughing, fever, weight loss, night sweats
and occasionally coughing
up blood. These are also the
symptoms of other respiratory conditions, so there is
no need to panic.
There is a cure for TB. A
person who has become infected but does not have the
disease may be given preventive therapy. Preventive
therapy aims to kill the germs
that are not doing any damage right now but could break
out later. A person who has
tested positive for the disease can be treated with very
effective drugs. The treatment usually lasts a year.
However, after a few weeks
of taking medication a per-"
son can return to normal ac-

Mike Reagle assumes new positions
By Tommy Jolly
Assistant Editor
Upon his arrival at California Baptist College in
July of 1991, he served as
special programs director.
He received the Employee
of the Year for the 1992-
1993 school year.
Now, three years after
his first days here, Reagle
has been made the new associate dean of students and
the interim dean of students.
The promotion happened over the summer,
when due to the restructuring of the college, the majority of the duties of associate dean and special programs director were combined into one position. In
addition, Reagle is interim
dean of students while the
college conducts a nation
wide search for a new dean.
So far, Reagle is busy doing "the work of three people,"
meaning the work of his previous job as well as the new
duties that come with his promotion.
That does not mean he has
no plans for the future. "I think
we are really in an evaluation
phase," he said in an interview. Now that Cal Baptist is
wrapping up phase one of the
restructuring process, he said
it is time to look at what has
been done in hopes of using
those changes to the college's
advantage.
For Reagle, faith is not just
an important part of his private
life. It is an important part of
his whole life. "I think you can
set programs in motion, but I
think it's really your daily walk
and the things you do everyday that are the most important things," he said. Speaking
of programs, Reagle said, "If
we're not living the revival in
our daily lives, they're worthless."
Reagle expects a strong
Christian commitment from
his peers as well. In addition,
he wants them to "not necessarily do the easy thing, but
do the right thing ." This includes the evaluation of everyday processes that come
with work.
"I think it's really important to explore why we do
things and make sure that
we're doing them because they
need to be done and not because we've always done them
that way," Reagle added.
Recently, Cal Baptist has
undergone a lot of changes,
changes that have caused
some comment. Reagle encourages students to ask questions to discover the truth
